Windsurfing & Stand-Up Paddleboarding in Michigan
We had a variety pack of Michigan weather for the Original Windsurfer regatta but that didn't stop us from having a very enjoyable time. Participants came from Ohio and Michigan for the August 16 Regatta, some new to windsurfing and others actively competing to win the races. I always enjoy a day with other windsurfers enjoying our beautiful water and am looking…

Since we haven't been blessed with much wind, and I haven't been blessed with any free time, I'm sitting here grading papers and Jonesing to get wet, and ran across Shawna Cropas' recent post about some of the Rocking Windsurfers that she's met.

Long-time Casevillian, windsurfer and kiteboarder extraordinaire, Larry Ruhstorfer, opened up a shop on the beach in the Caseville County Park.

I regret to inform everyone that the Blue Lagoon Marina has been taken over by Blaz Marine and they will not offer access to the lake for non-members. If you choose to purchase a boat and rent a slip then you will have access to the lake. The Owner of the Marina has made the decision, not Blaz, and as of now, the decision seems final. I will work on them again in the summer and press for fall access.
Take care and see you soon.

After Don's post about missing the crowds of windsurfers, I'd thought I'd post this. If you haven't seen it, it's the trailer to Andre Paskowski's last film, Below the Surface. Check out what Robbie Naish has to say at about 2:40 into the trailer. And hey, why not pick up a copy for Christmas. You can get it through Side-Off Video.…

Over the years, I've had a few folks ask about sailing spots in the Traverse City area, plus I'm quite familiar with the Keweenaw Peninsula in the UP, so I've put together this Google map as a starting point, with some notes about the locations.
If you additional comments or spots to add, please send me details.
